The conflict of the headscarf (hijab) in the Islamic culture is an external conflict.
Globalization creates conflicts by different cultures opposing views and different beliefs and customs. When the speaker says that globalization has only flown one direction, she means that the western culture has had a larger influence in the east than vice versa.
Though she feels that globalization has been one sided, the speaker also believes that there has been benefits of it, namely role models for women and ideas of women. She names several prominent American women, such as Sandra Day O'Connor and Oprah as positive role models.
The two sources that the speaker says Muslims and Westerners live by/are obligated to is the Qur'an and the Constitution respectively.
